XK Styling Pack
Discussion
Currently looking at possible acquisition of a new XK or XKR (to replace the X-type as my daily driver) I was just wondering what the faithful thought of the recently released XK styling pack. Looks good? or just tack-on-tat. I'm undecided.
If nobody knows what I'm on about, I'll try to find some pictures...
Oh, and not having driven the XKR, yet, how's the supercharger whine when you stand on it?

I am indeed leaning toward the R. Nice to hear about the supercharger whine. Thought that the old one was bit too loud.
I will probably wait for the 2008 model (or get it ordered). Am I right in thinking that British Racing Green is being dropped? If so, it will have to be slate gray with gray leather. Don't want to do black as the sun will cook you in black in Florida (as my wife has found out with her S-type)

PS: Did my insurance quote on this and deleting the X-type and adding an XKR - total difference $40 per year. It's a no-brainer.

Go for white if you are in Florida, or Salsa red!
From June, BRG is being replaced with botanical green, similar colour except it is a metallic. Slate also ends to be replaced by Pearl Grey. If you have seen the 'Moonrock' grey on Honda's S2000, you won't be far off.

A big no on white for me just due to the "lovebug" infestation twice annually. They really kill white paint (been ther, done that on another car)Go for white if you are in Florida, or Salsa red!

The salsa just look, well, too Ferrari to me. I'll have a look at the 2008 XJ colours, as I imagine they will be the same across the model range...

Just talked to my local Jaguar dealer. He's going to let me know when they can start ordering the 2008 version. He says that the antenna will be going in the spoiler (says that they have replaced a few under warranty at the shop)
British Racing Green gone, but they have a regular XK in lunar grey. I might go by and take a look at it to see if I like that colour (slate is indeed being retired as well)
